A Great Night

Man...tonight was a great night! We got the W, played great team ball, and I got my first triple-double. I'm not the type of player that focuses on my own stats, so I didn't even know what I had until I sat down in the 4th. I was really focused on being aggressive tonight. Ray had a great night tonight, so I just kept feeding him the ball. I really just wanted to make plays and get people the ball-the stats just came. Overall, I felt good out there. My lip got busted up a little, but I'm fine. I'm tired now though, so I'm going to lay it down now. I just wanted to drop yall a few lines. I'll holla!

Rondo....I saw your stat line and was just amazed. Last year in game 6 of the finals you were almost on pace for the uber rare quadruple double in the 3rd quarter.

Game respects game....Keep it up

I noticed your lip. Hope its not too bad. Great game. I was nervous about this game because the Pacers are one of the only two losses you guys have had this season so far, and I know they just came off a big win against the Lakers, but you showed them why you guys are the World Champs! The fourth quarter was amazing. You always know who to look out for when they're hot and its great to watch. Come to Boston University one day...you got a huge fan base here.

Rajon,
I was at the game tonight, you played awesome... I think the best part was when you got the triple double, Cassell and House were over on the bench going nuts hi-fiving and everything. Its great to see you guys play as a team like that

CONGRATS!!

You balled out today, I live out here in So Cal bout 45 minutes from the Staples Center, but I've always been a Celtic Fan and since you started ballin out last winter, I feel you're just as crucial to the team's success as anybody else, that's what special about you guys, you guys play great team ball, team defense, the whole package, no one's posted up 16-17-13 since Magic in 89, you're in good company ha I'ma do mah best to you to Phoenix man and let everyone else know to do the same, keep it up, three of my best friends are Die Hard Laker Fans, so we talk smack all the time, they usually gang up on me, but as long as you guys keep doing your thing I'll have somethin keep ballin, peace.

Rondo, you are so great to ngiht. I saw a young guy with Steve Nash's ability. I am Steve Nash's fan, but you will be better than him.
Good job - amazing jot tonight... even we did not have live broadcast for this game, but watch the NBA game live also is a kind of pleasure. Keep going and just let your potential burst out...

Hey Rondo, saw your photo shoot with the Boston jacket. That jacket was tight my man. Check out Boston Knucklehead Clothing. I think you might dig it. Keep up the good work on the court man.

That was a great game lastnight Rondo!!!! Congrats on your stats record!! It was amazing. I hope your lip gets better it was very swollen, try boiling water and salt...that works. For minute when he hit you I thought he knocked your tooth out but thank goodness he didn't.

Whats good Rondo?
Last night was a good one, great game. I was there at the game last night, perfect seats. it seems like each game I go to, I sit closer and closer to the bench where I could just admire you and the rest of the team. You are so amazing. I was kinda upset when your lip got busted I must admit, I wanted to run on the court and smack some one up, lol nosa. Congrats on your triple double, you deserve it. You know basketball and understand it very well, thats why you "ROCK" and I admire you so much. I swear I hope you get to play in the All-Star game, you def. deserve it, I vote everyday for you.
Anyhow, I just got into work and this is the first thing I did thus far this morning.
just wanted to holla, thanks for the post. I will holla next time. Oh and I will see you at the game on the15th, cant wait, look out for me, lol you will soon now who I am.
Luv Ya

Rondo, you were so amazing last night. I love how you continue to be a leader on the court with the plays you create for the team. Im so happy your back to your (Rondo'd) state. The past 5 teams or so, have been getting Rondo'd, and Im so happy to be able to say that. Congrats on your triple double, and I hope your lip is better!

Your def deserve to be in the all star voting count. No matter what people say. You continue to have consisten great games, and your able to lead a team full of future hall of famers, ur def able to lead the East All Star team... I continue to vote for u!

Good Luck and Congrats!

Congratulations on an excellent game. Your triple double tonight was the first for a Celtics guard since Dennis Johnson did it in 1987. You are in very good company! Keep up the great work! You just get better and better every game.

rcs360 said December 04, 2008

Wow Rondo. When I heard you dropped a triple double, and the numbers you dropped with it a great night is an understatement. Around this time last year, critics were saying that you couldn't run this the point for an NBA championship team. Haven't seen one since. And congrats on signing with Nike.

What a Game! without a doubt the most dominant player on the court last night, and thats with Pierce, Allen, and KG... and your how old?? The future of the Celts starts with number 9. I've already voted for u three times this morning. Friday's gonna be another great night against a really good team.
GREAT GAME RAJON!!!

MVP!!! MVP!!!... Is it too early?

Great game, congratulations on your first Triple Double!!!

13 rebound and 17 assists people... Those are more than all-star numbers!! Those came from a point guard. Not a center or power forward, a point guard!!

Well done!

Pacers got rondo'd. You are the perfect fit for this team. If you keep playin like you've been playin the last couple weeks there will be no stopping the green to championship 18.

PS. My grandfather is having a tough time nowadays. I talked to him last night and he was so excited for you during the game. You made a difference in his life for a night.

GO RONDO!!!

TWebb34 said December 04, 2008

It was great to be in the stands watching you perform like that last night. You play un-selfish basketball which is very rare these days, and are one of the key reasons why many people are starting to watch the NBA again to see team ball.

Keep doing what your doing and I among other fans will vote you everyday for the all-star team. At least I don't have to vote you as a write in everyday, like I did last year! That gets a little monotonous, the clicking part is easy with you being on the ballot.

Good luck and keep doing your thing!

Good Game "Kid". I always knew that triple double would come someday. Keep carrying that Point Guard vision. Better things will come your way, you just gotta be patient. From here on out: I don't expect anything less than 10 assists per game. "OK DOC" LOL. Well hope things are good with you. Send me a quick note on my page whenever you have a chance. Take care!

Hey Rondo! ok so congrats on last night! i was so excited to go to the game last night and was even more happy to be there when you got your triple double! thats awesome! you played so good and it was awesome to see you play at the garden instead of the tv. i think your an amazing player and everytime i see you play you always make me want to play again. see i played bball for 8 years and loved it but then i screwed up my ankle and haven't been able to play since. it sucks, but when i see you out there with the team i remember my love for playing and wish i could go back. your a great player and will continue to become better! good luck friday and of course i was be watching from home! continue to stay aggressive and drive the ball!

Hi Rajon,
I found that even Yahoo Japan had your triple double on their sports news. As far as I know, it's the first time that your own comment was translated in Japanese. Cool. Your play has been improving greatly indeed. Such good play of course deserves universal attention.
And I'm so thrilled how you are growing and improving now and how you will be in the next decade as a fantastic NBA player.
Keep it up! I like how you came out from your summer off!
